Story

Meet Lil Dude Don’t let the name fool you—Lil Dude may be small, but he’s got a big heart and an even bigger personality. This adorable terrier mix is settling beautifully into foster life and has been doing great alongside his foster’s female dog. He’s social, respectful, and already showing what a great companion he’ll be. Lil Dude walks well on a leash and enjoys getting out to explore the world by your side. Whether it’s a neighborhood stroll or just soaking up some sunshine, he’s happy just being near his people. He’s off to a strong, healthy start—having received his first round of vaccines, with boosters scheduled. He’s also tested negative for heartworm, flea, and tick-borne diseases, so he’s ready to continue thriving. Lil Dude will be neutered on 4/24 and will be ready to join his forever family shortly after. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing, and lovable little companion, Lil Dude just might be your perfect match. Apply to meet Lil Dude and give him the forever home he deserves. ##2705809##

Meet Bella The perfect adventure companionSay hello to Bella, the athletic and spirited pup who's ready to join you on all your adventures! Bella, available for adoption through Harley's Hounds in South Texas, is a small and compact bundle of energy that you can take anywhere.Bella is not just athletic; she’s a powerhouse of energy and agility. Whether it’s hiking, running, or just playing in the yard, Bella’s enthusiasm and stamina will keep you on your toes. Her favorite spot during car rides? The front seat, where she can enjoy the view and be close to her favorite human.Here’s the deal with Bella: she's a one-pup show. While she's okay with other dogs in public on a leash and is selective with other dogs, she thrives best as the solo pet in a home. Bella can coexist with other dogs in a controlled setting, but she hasn’t been tested in a multi-dog household environment.Bella is curious about cats but shows no aggression, making her a possible fit for a home with feline friends, provided proper introductions are made. She loves to be the center of attention and craves to be the focal point of a loving family. However, she hasn't shown much interest in the children (ages 4 and 8) of her foster family, so she might prefer a home with older children or adults only.If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who will be your adventure buddy and front-seat co-pilot, Bella is the perfect match. She’s eager to find a family where she can shine as the center of attention and share her boundless love and energy.Contact us to learn more about Bella and how you can make her a part of your family. She’s ready for her next great adventure with you! ##2196566##

Lucielle "Lucy" Lu

Labrador Retriever Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Harlingen, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lucy is a young (1 year old) female, spayed and fully updated on vaccines and preventatives. She’s great with other dogs, not cat tested. Although shy initially, she’ll warm up in no time. At just a year old, she’s still young enough to be playful and curious — but mature enough to appreciate the quiet comfort of being near her people. She’s fully vetted — spayed, up to date on vaccines, and current on preventatives — so she’s ready to walk straight into her forever home. Lucy does great with other dogs and would thrive with a friendly canine companion to help her continue building confidence. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet. When you first meet her, she may be a little shy — the world hasn’t always shown her consistency — but give her a little patience and a soft voice, and you’ll see her blossom. Once she warms up, she leans in for affection and looks at you like you’re her whole world. Lucy would do best in a home that understands that the most beautiful connections take just a little time. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, sweetness, and that quiet, steady love that only a once-shy dog can give. ##2672671##

Story

Zsa Zsa, a loyal companion! Zsa Zsa is a stunning young Australian Shepherd, under 1 year old, with a gorgeous black and white coat that’s truly to die for. This special girl had a rough start in life and is still learning to trust, but she’s making great progress. Her agility is incredible, and she’ll need an active family who can dedicate time to training her and keeping her busy. Zsa Zsa would also do well in a home with another dog that can show her the ropes and help build her confidence. She’s curious about cats — not aggressive, just very interested. Due to her not-so-humble beginnings, we recommend a home without young children to ensure she continues to feel safe and supported. She’s fully up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed, and is now looking for her forever home. Her foster says, "Zsa Zsa is really special. She finds her person and never leaves their side. Velcro dog, some may say... I say, she understands and has a deep respect and loyalty to the human that refuses to give up on her." If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and active companion, Zsa Zsa might be your perfect match. She’s ready to join a loving home where she can continue to grow, thrive, and feel truly safe. ##2186395##

Story

Meet Bosco — the happiest boy you’ll ever meet. Bosco is a 3–4 year-old Labrador/Terrier mix, about 60 lbs of heart, muscle, and pure joy. His foster family even considered renaming him “Happy,” because that’s exactly what he brings everywhere he goes — a whole-body wag that starts with his tail and works its way up. Bosco was found wandering a neighborhood in Harlingen, South Texas, likely dumped by people who didn’t deserve him. Despite that, he hasn’t lost his trust in humans. In fact, Bosco still believes his people are out there somewhere — the ones who will love him the way he deserves. And he will love them right back with everything he has. Bosco is smart and eager to please. He already knows sit, shake, and stay, walks nicely on a harness, and is crate and potty trained. Like many young labs, he starts out with a burst of enthusiasm — but once he settles in, you see his sweet, loyal soul shine through. He does wonderfully with other dogs and would love a home where he has a buddy to play with. Cats aren’t his thing, but people absolutely are. Because Bosco is strong and gets so excited to be near his humans, he would do best with kids old enough to handle his joyful energy. His foster describes him best: “Bosco is one of my favorite personalities on this earth — curious and caring, yet strong and confident. He deserves a family who will love him forever and show him how to fold into everything they do.” Bosco is neutered, fully vaccinated, and on preventatives, and he’s more than ready to find the family he’s been waiting for. Adult dogs like Bosco are so special. They’re past the tiny puppy stage, but their hearts are just as open. They understand companionship. They form deep bonds. And when they realize they’re finally home, the gratitude is something you’ll feel every single day. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, deeply loving companion to share your life and adventures with, Bosco may be the one who’s been waiting for you all along. Come meet Bosco — your best friend might be right here. ##1754313##

Story

Meet Lola — a joyful little shadow who just wants to be by your side. Lola is a sweet Terrier mix (we think she has some Chihuahua in her too!), estimated to be around 3 years old and weighing about 35 pounds — the perfect size for both adventure and snuggles. Lola is the kind of dog who loves big. When she’s happy to see you (which is almost always), her excitement shows in full force — happy jumps, tail wags, and the desire to be right next to her people at all times. She’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s part of whatever you’re doing. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions who can continue helping her learn the rhythms of family life. While she hasn’t been cat tested, she does well with kids who understand boundaries and can match her playful energy. Lola is still learning her way in the world and gaining confidence every day. She would do best with a loving, patient family who can guide her, continue reinforcing her manners, and help channel her enthusiasm into all the good things life has to offer. The best part about Lola? Her heart.She is deeply devoted to her people and wants nothing more than to belong. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will greet you with joy, stay close to your side, and love you with her whole heart, Lola might just be the perfect addition to your family. ##1754308##
